Fig. 8

Representative images of macrophages activation in longitudinal sections of the proximal and distal stumps of sciatic nerve. Immunolabeling was performed in C57BL/6 J and TLR2^−/− mice at 3 (a–d), 7 (e–h) and 14 (i–l) days after nerve crush. (m–o) Graphs of the integrated density of pixels of activated macrophages under an equivalent area for all groups. Note that de absence of TLR2 does not influence the recruitment of macrophages to the lesion site. Scale bar: 50 μm
